Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Corrupt Emperor

Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.

Chapter 549: The Prelude to the Liaodong Campaign

These people are very nervous now, and the one who can make the decision among them is naturally Wu Keshan.

Wu Keshan has been stationed in Daning City since its establishment. His power has grown over the past few years, largely due to his actions in Daning City.

With his father in charge of the family and his younger brothers unable to compete with him, Wu Keshan was recognized as the next successor to Khorchin.

The reason why his position is so stable, in addition to his own abilities, is that he has many sons.

Wu Keshan had more than twenty sons in his lifetime, twenty of whom survived, and now more than a dozen have reached adulthood, scattered across the tribe, responsible for various businesses. In Daning City, four of his sons came with him.

Glancing at everyone, Wu Keshan said, "I know what you want to ask, but I can't figure out the situation for now."

"I have sent someone to invite Magistrate Zhang. Once he arrives, everything will be clear." Wu Keshan said confidently.

Although he spoke with confidence, he was not sure in his heart. However, he was not too worried because he had met the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and both sides had made a promise.

It is estimated that the Ming army came this time to attack Jiannu. After all, the time is ripe. Jiannu is now at the end of its strength, and it is the best time to attack.

In recent years, Huang Taiji has tried to break out to the west or south, but has not been successful.

When we attacked south, the old fox Xiong Tingbi held his ground and gave us no chance at all.

As for Xiangdong, North Korea was not something Huang Taiji could touch. Once he tried to touch North Korea, Jianning Guards would send troops, leaving him vulnerable to attack from both sides.

This means that there is basically no hope of going west to fight Mongolia, and Huang Taiji cannot win.

Huang Taiji's life has become increasingly difficult in the past two years. He has sent people to contact Wu Keshan countless times. After all, the two sides still have an alliance.

Wu Keshan's aunt Zhezhe was Huang Taiji's first wife, but even so, Wu Keshan did not choose Huang Taiji. The reason was very simple: he had no choice.

The last time he stabbed Huang Taiji in the back, the relationship between the two sides had reached a freezing point. Although the people sent from the other side were eloquent, saying that the Ming Dynasty would deal with Mongolia after dealing with the Jiannu, the Mongolians did not really believe it.

After all, the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty confronted each other for more than two hundred years, but the Ming Dynasty never defeated the Mongols, and the grassland remained a grassland.

In addition, the Mongols had made a lot of money doing business with the Ming Dynasty in recent years, and no one was willing to turn against the Ming Dynasty.

In comparison, the Ming Dynasty is much more trustworthy than the Jiannu. The reason why Mongolia formed an alliance with the Jiannu was naturally forced.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty also has an ally, the Five Inner Khalkha Tribes, who firmly support the Ming Dynasty.

In the original history, when Shenyang fell, the five Inner Khalkha tribes came to rescue. However, by the time they arrived, Guangning and Shenyang had already been lost, so they arrived too late. The Inner Khalkha then fought a battle and were defeated, showing their fighting power was weak.

But Wu Keshan was not sure that he could convince the five tribes of Inner Khalkha. They and Huang Taiji were mortal enemies. In the original history, they fought to the end and asked Ligdan Khan for help.

Lin Dan Khan did not come, and just sat on the mountain to watch the tigers fight, showing no courage of the Mongolian Khan. When the Inner Khalkha was defeated, Lin Dan Khan took the opportunity to annex the two tribes that had escaped.

The current situation was good, but Wu Keshan was also somewhat worried that the Ming Dynasty might change its attitude after they won. This would be bad, so he wanted to settle this matter first.

After meeting with Magistrate Zhang, Wu Keshan was going to send someone to Shanhaiguan to meet the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he even planned to go there in person.

Submission is a must, and acceptance of the title is also a must. The conditions are easy to negotiate, but there is one thing that cannot be discussed, and that is regarding his sister.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty must give his sister a concubine position. Only in this way can he feel at ease. Otherwise, he will really be worried.

Therefore, it is basically unlikely that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would marry his own sister and then turn against her. The Ming Dynasty was still very trustworthy.

Wu Keshan was deeply impressed by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. That guy was very powerful.

Everyone looked at Wu Keshan and were still very worried.
